This is the highest price ever paid for a bottle of wine to date. The winemaker responsible is Jesse Katz from Heraldsburg in California, in the heart of Sonoma Wine Country. The now 36-year-old founded The Setting Wines in 2014 together with two friends. While the only six-litre bottling of Cabernet Sauvignon sold for one million US dollars, a 0.75-litre bottle will be available for as little as 185 US dollars.
